The Profile Series is an ongoing project that focuses on a precise, side profile look at all of our favorite cars. Over the past decade, hundreds of bespoke illustrations have been created of vehicles across all automotive subcultures from generational icons and historical race cars to individual collections from the past, present and future.
These hyper-realistic digital illustrations are created from scratch in Adobe Illustrator. Using a tedious process to reproduce incredibly accurate details in vector format, the artwork can be scaled as large or as small as needed to fit a wide variety of digital and printed applications.
PROCESS

References
The core of The Profile Series illustrations starts with collecting specific photographic resources to use as a basis to create the initial outline of the vehicle. Finding an exact type of reference is essential in getting the desired proportions and details so each and every illustration in the catalog has a cohesive look.

OUTLINE
Once the proper references are gathered, an initial base layer is done in a bright, solid color to visualize shapes while pieces of the car are carefully organized into layers in Adobe Illustrator. A clean outline sets

DETAILS
Adding the signature photo-realistic characteristic to The Profile Series illustrations requires attention to details like value, color and texture. Through a tedious and gradual process, every aspect of the car is thoughtfully shaped and shaded to add accurate details and dimension.

GOODS
Although the illustrations are created in a digital space, once completed, they can take shape in the form of a variety of printed goods such as framed prints, stickers, keychains, apparel, and more.
